By promoting teamwork and providing practical know-how, it will improve the success and safety of respiratory endoscopy procedures.
Huvudpersonen är en trettiosexårig porträttmålare som bor i Tokyo. Efter att hans hustru plötsligt en dag låtit meddela att hon vill skiljas avbokar han allt och reser sin väg. Han hamnar i ett avskilt hus högt uppe på ett berg och bestämmer sig för att framöver måla landskap istället för porträtt. På vinden i det märkliga huset påträffar han av en händelse en målning med titeln "Mordet på kommendören". Motivet tycks vara ett brutalt mord på 500-talet men anspelar samtidigt på Mozarts berömda opera Don Giovanni som skrevs först i slutet av 1700-talet. Inte långt därefter hör en gåtfull IT-miljardär av sig och vill beställa ett porträtt. Haruki Murakamis nya roman i två delar, Mordet på kommendören, handlar om den gäckande konsten och flyende tiden. Platsen är lika mycket ett stilla japanskt landskap i nutid som förintelsen och Nanjingmassakern i Kina 1937. Boken är Murakamis mest ambitiösa roman sedan trilogin 1Q84 (2011) och vållade stor debatt i hemlandet för det sätt på vilket den grep sig an politiskt känsliga ämnen. Den andra och avslutande delen kommer på svenska i början av 2019.

This book discusses the influence and impact of Shinzo Abe, Japan’s youngest and longest-serving Prime Minister in the post-Second World War, on international relations between India and Japan. The subject matter concentrates on Abe’s 2006-2007 and 2012-2020 regimes. Building on civilisation linkages, shared values, and mutual interest, Abe pegged the relationship with India as a strategic requirement for his vision for the Indo-Pacific region. Drawing linkages between Abe’s vision for Japan and India’s ambition at the world theatre, the contributing authors explore the various dimensions of this partnership. Critically appraising this bilateral relation, drawing on the convergence of India-Japan interest in the multilateral form, Abe’s impact on the media, and his display of soft power diplomacy, this book analyses the diverse spheres that have spun this partnership to a new orbit.
